Introducing
Students to the Power of Digital Storytelling
August 28, 2009
9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
CCC 307 lab
Storytelling can often invoke strong emotion
and personal reflection on the part of the storyteller as well as
the audience. Last April we
shared one instructor’s initial experience incorporating Digital
Storytelling into her fall class, and her students’ end-of-semester
reflections which evolved through the stories they produced.
9:30 – 10:30:
Dr. Jodi Olmsted, UWSP’s Health Sciences department, will
talk about what she learned in her first, and then second semester
of guiding her students through the process of creating their own
digital stories and show examples of her students’ work.
10:30 – 11:00:
Break and discussion on using Digital Stories in the
classroom.
11:00 – 12:00:
Optional hands-on work time for participants interested in
learning to use Windows Movie Maker to create digital movies,
including tips for supporting your students through the process.
Coffee will be ready for you.
Note: if you are planning to stay for the
hands-on portion of the session, please bring some pictures to work
with on a flash drive or have them accessible through your myFiles
space.

Armageddon
101/Literature for Linebackers and Portrait of the Student as a
Young Wolf
UW-Green Bay
September 25, 2009
Presenter: Darby Lewes, Professor of English,
Lycoming College
Armageddon 101/Literature for
Linebackers
Room: Phoenix C, UWGB Union
10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Armageddon 101: Ever had a
class that went beautifully one semester and was a nightmare the
next? Ever had a "problem" student" that no one else seemed to have
"problems" with? Or a wonderful student whom everyone else thought
was a troublemaker? Ever had a class turn sulky? Or sullen? Or
downright mean? This extremely interactive session will examine what
makes good classes turn to the Dark Side, and how to turn them back
again. More importantly, it will offer strategies for avoiding
disruption altogether.
Lit for Linebackers:
This mock "Intro to Lit" class--along with a running
commentary explaining what Darby is doing and why--is the basis of
the presentation. It demonstrates how in-your-face teaching can be
highly effective when used in a safe, nurturing environment. how
immediate reward (and the competition for that reward) can be used
as motivation; how even unwilling students can be drawn into
sophisticated analysis if the subject covered directly relates to
their own concerns; and how ingrained resistance can be overcome by
pure positive reinforcement.
Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf
Room: Phoenix C, UWGB Union
2:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Using a highly trained Service Dog, Darby
Lewes' highly irreverent, completely interactive, and frequently
unpredictable session is designed to help any teacher looking to
develop students’ enthusiasm, abilities, and confidence, and as an
aid for anyone who is responsible for groups and teams.
The session invites participants to cheer, boo, race one
another and a dog, compete for medals and handsome silver trophies,
proudly wear ridiculous hats, and learn subversive ways to motivate
their students. And they do!
Learning from One Another:
Focusing on Pedagogical Need and Strategies in
the Development of LGBTQ Courses and Course Content
Sponsored by OPID
UW-Parkside
Friday, October 2, 2009
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
Lunch and snack provided
Continental breakfast at 9:30 a.m.
Professor Lisa Kornetsky, from UW Parkside, and Dr. Liz Cannon, from UW Oshkosh, would like to invite UW System faculty and academic staff to join us in a one-day-long workshop to expand our understanding of strategies to infuse our curriculum with materials addressing the lives of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people, and queer identified people.
The primary goals of this workshop are to
share expertise in pedagogical strategies
for addressing diversity in general and specifically for
including LGBTQ content in courses that currently meet the
university's diversity/ethnic requirement and those with a wider
definition of diversity;
discuss
ways in which we can link both content and expertise across the
UW System;
explore some possibilities for a joint SoTL
project to explore the relationship between student learning in
LGBTQ courses and the rest of their curriculum.
This workshop will focus on developing LGBTQ
content only courses and including such content in courses already
focused on diversity issues.
Discussion will address the relationship between this type of
diversity course and broader learning outcomes as well as the ways
in which students process their learning in diversity courses and
how they relate these courses to their work/study in the major and
general education.

Embedding
Inclusive Excellence into the Curriculum: Sharing LGBTQ Best
Practices
Sponsored by OPID
UW-Oshkosh
Friday, April 9, 2010
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
Lunch and snack provided
Continental breakfast at 9:30 a.m.
Professor Lisa Kornetsky, from UW Parkside, and Dr. Liz Cannon, from UW Oshkosh, would like to invite UW System faculty and academic staff to join us in a one-day-long workshop to expand our understanding of strategies to infuse our curriculum with materials addressing the lives of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people, and queer identified people.
The primary goals of this workshop are to:
identify ways to embed Inclusive Excellence
into the curriculum through LGBTQ content;
assist faculty in aligning LGBTQ content
with Learning Outcomes;
identify best practices for infusing LGBTQ
content;
exchange discipline based syllabi and
assignments.
This workshop, while addressing issues from the first workshop, will focus on curriculum infusion on a wider basis, asking the question of how instructors can include diversity in general and LGBTQ content specifically into their general education and major courses. Discussion will address the challenge of teaching material outside one’s defined field of expertise, pedagogical approaches to teaching diversity effectively to resistant students, and how incorporating LGBTQ content connects to and is consistent with campus-based learning outcomes and the goals of the Inclusive Excellence initiative.
